Around the time I was getting into Last Fair Deal Gone Down I worked in a part of the post office where you couldnt wear phones and all they played was Elton John, Queen or Wham/George Michael: "We only listen English band" but off course that didnt include Maiden or PL or COF! Elton is known to rock out (covered by Flotsam & Jetsam, Dream Theatre), I have heard Queen being referred to as a metal band and as for Wham!/George Michael I didnt want to add them but that was the third choice (covered by Delight). It was usually greatest hits but sometimes you would get an album. Which band would you rather listen to for a 4 hour shift?

Re: Elton John Vs Queen Vs Wham!

Obviously QUEEN, even if it was just Ogre Battle on repeat for 4 hours.

Re: Elton John Vs Queen Vs Wham!

When NWOBHM hit they were looking for bands, even Slade was NWOBHM (in ZA anyway) now there are too many!

I will admit I love Elton John! Dont listen to it much nowadays except my favorites, like One Horse Town! Its like Black Sabbath with farting sounds! Off course they only played the popular albums at the PO (Dont Shoot Me, Yellow Brick Road and his 80's albums)

Elton John has probably got as many classic albums as Queen but he's also got a lot more crap so I'm going for Queen here. Wham! is a fair way back in third place. For the record Wham! was my first ever live concert & Elton John was my second.

Queen no contest. EJ is a brilliant musician and songwriter and would win if against any of the Queen boys individually. Wham shouldn't even belong here...
